Cow Island

Every night I grab life by the neck
Drag it up ten flights of steps
And throw it naked upon the bed
What's it all about
It's my island
My friends all said that it's a dead end
But they got it all wrong, it's like a loose friend
I had some before, now I want it all

It's all just at my beckon call
All that walks and half that crawls
This is it and this is all
What's it all about
It's my island
I had it before I was a boyfriend
I had it before all the money was spent
I had some before, now I want it all

Sometimes I get the gift of gab
Then everything is up for grabs
Mr. Yahweh gets the tab
What's it all about
It's my island
This world ain't got a thing to show me
Ain't got a quarter of what it owes me
I had some before, now I want it all

I get up with the morning light
Grab the oyster, take a bite
And send it back if it ain't right
What's it all about
It's my island
This whole world is here to serve me
In actual fact it don't deserve me
I had some before, now I want it all
